Hi Susan,

I read the article you did recently on Dadurian suing Maralago for failing to return her membership deposit. By any chance do you have a list of the members? Or even more importantly, do you happen to have a list of the members that have been bar.ned7 I think you know where this is going...

Also, were you one of the reporters at Epstein's house these past few days? Just curious what was going on over there...whether he was still finding some way to get his hands on little kids. Anyway, let me know if you have anything. I will keep you in the loop as things develop.

HISTORICAL NOTES

2007 Amendments

Chapter Two, Part A, Subpart Three, is amended in the heading by adding at the end "AND OFFENSES RELATED TO REGISTRATION AS A SEX OFFENDER'.

Reason for Amendment: This amendment responds to the Adam Walsh ChildfiretectIon and Safety Act of 2006 (the !'Aidam Walsh Ace), Pub.L. 109.248, which contained a directive to the Commission, created new sexual offenses, and enhanced penalties for existing sexual offenses. The amendment implements the directive by creating two new guidelines, §§ 2A3.5 (Criminal Sexual Abuse and Offenses Related to Registration as a Sex Offender) and 2A3.6 (Aggravated Offenses Relating to Registration as a Sex Offender). It further addresses relevant provisions in the Adam Walsh Act by making changes to Chapter Two, Part A, Subpart 3 (Criminal Sexual Abuse) and Part G (Offenses Involving Commercial Sex Acts, Sexual Exploitation of Minors, and Obscenity), § 2)1.2 (Obstruction of Justice), § 301.2 (Groups of Closely Related Counts), § 4B1.5 (Repeat and Dangerous Sex Offender Against Minors), § 581.3 (Conditions of Probation), § 5D1.2 (Term of Supervised Release), § 5D1.3 (Conditions of Supervised Release) and Appendix A (Statutory Index).

First, section 206 of the Adam Walsh Act amended 18 Ll S.C. 724101to add a new mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 30 years for offenses related to the aggravated sexual abuse of a child under 12 years old, or of a child between 12 and 16 years old if force, threat, or other means was used. In response to the new mandatory minimum for these offenses, the amendment increases the base offense level at § 2A3.1 (Criminal Sexual Abuse; Attempt to Commit Criminal Sexual Abuse) from level 30 to level 38. The base offense level of 30 has been retained for all other offenses. At least one specific offense characteristic applied to every conviction under lft LI S C 2241(r) sentenced under § 2A3.1 in fiscal year 2006. Accordingly, the mandatory minimum 360 months' Imprisonment Is expected to be reached or exceeded In every case with a base offense level of 38.

The amendment provides a new application note that precludes application of the specific offense characteristic at § 2A3.1(b)(1) regarding conduct described in 18 U-S.0 2241131 or (h) If the conduct that forms the basis for a conviction under 18 U S C 2241.1r1is that the defendant engaged In conduct described in 18 U.S.0 7241(al orthj (force, threat, or other means). The amendment also precludes application of the specific offense characteristic for the age of a victim at § 2A3.1(b)(2) if the defendant was convicted under section 2241(c). The heightened base offense level of 38 takes Into account the age of the victim. These instructions, therefore, avoid unwarranted double counting.

Second, section 207 of the Adam Walsh Act increased the statutory maximum term of Imprisonment under IS Li S.C. 22430)1from 5 years to 15 years for the sexual abuse of a person in official detention or under custodial authority. In response to Increased penalty,

01283

EFTA01118787

the amendment increases the base offense level from 12 to 14 in § 2A3.3 (Criminal

Sexual Abuse of a Ward or Attempt to Commit Such Acts). The amendment also adds a new definition of "minor consistent with how this term is defined elsewhere in the guidelines manual. In addition, the amendment includes an application note precluding application of § 381.3 (Abuse of Position of Trust or Use of Special Skill) for these offenses because an abuse of position of trust is assumed in all such cases and, therefore, is built into the base offense level.

Third, section 206 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new subsection at 18 U.S.C. 2244. Section 2244(a)(5) provides a penalty of any term of years if the sexual conduct would have violated 18 U.S.C. 2241(c) had the contact been a sexual act. Section 2241(c) conduct involves the aggravated sexual abuse of a child under 12 years old or of a child between 12 and 16 years old if force, threat, or other means was used, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2241(a) and (b). Prior to the Adam Walsh Act, the penalty for offenses involving children under 12 years old was "twice that otherwise provided," and the penalty for sexual contact involving behavior described in 18 U.S.C. 2241 was a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.

The amendment addresses this new offense by increasing the minimum offense level In

the age enhancement In subsection (b)(1) of § 2A3.4 (Abusive Sexual Contact or Attempt to Commit Abusive Sexual Contact) from level 20 to level 22.

Fourth, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new offense under JR il S.0

2250fal for the failure to register as a sex offender. The basic offense carries a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years. Section 141 also included a directive to the Commission that when promulgating guidelines for the offense, to consider, among other factors, the seriousness of the sex offender's conviction that gave rise to the requirement to register; relevant further offense conduct during the period for which the defendant failed to register; and the offender's criminal history.

The amendment creates a new guideline, § 2A3.5 (Failure to Register as a Sex Offender),

to address the directive. The new guideline provides three alternative base offense levels based on the tiered category of the sex offender: level 16 if the defendant was required to register as a Tier Ill offender; level 14 if the defendant was required to register as a Tier It offender; and level 12 if the defendant was required to register as a Tier I offender.

The amendment also provides two specific offense characteristics. First, subsection (b)(1) provides a tiered enhancement to address criminal conduct committed while the defendant is in a failure to register status. Spedfically, § 2A3.5(b)(1) provides a six -level increase if, while in a failure to register status, the defendant committed a sex offense against an adult, a six-level increase if the defendant committed a felony offense against a minor, and an eight-level increase if the defendant committed a sex offense against a minor. Second, § 2A3.5(b)(2) provides a three-level decrease if the defendant voluntarily corrected the failure to register or voluntarily attempted to register but was prevented from registering by uncontrollable circumstances, and the defendant did not contribute to the creation of those circumstances. The reduction covers cases in which (1) the defendant either does not attempt to register until after the relevant registration period has expired but subsequently successfully registers, thereby correcting the failure to register status, or (2) the defendant, either before or after the registration period has expired, attempted to register but circumstances beyond the defendant's control prevented the defendant from successfully registering. An application note specifies that the voluntary attempt to register or to correct the failure to register must have occurred prior to the time the defendant knew or reasonably should have known a jurisdiction had detected the failure to register. The application note also provides that the reduction does not apply If the enhancement for committing one of the enumerated offenses in § 2A3.5(b)(1) applies.

01284

EFTA01118788

Additionally, the amendment adds § 2A3.5 to the list of offenses that are considered groupabie under § 3D1.2(d) because the failure to register offense is an ongoing and continuous offense.

Fifth, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act created two new aggravated offenses relating to the registration as a sex offender. Section 141 of the Act created 18 U.S.C. 2250(c), which carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 5 years and a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years if a defendant commits a crime of violence while in a failure to register status, with the sentence to be consecutive to the punishment provided for the failure to register. Section 702 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new offense at 18 U.S.C. 2260A that prohibits the commission of various enumerated offenses while in a failure to register status. The penalty for this offense is a mandatory term of imprisonment of 10 years to be imposed consecutively to the underlying offense.

The amendment creates a new guideline at § 2A3.6 (Aggravated Offenses Relating to Registration as a Sex Offender) to address these new offenses. The new guideline provides that for offenses under section 2250(c), the guideline sentence Is the minimum term of imprisonment required by statute, and for offenses under section 2260A, the guideline sentence is the term of imprisonment required by statute. Chapters Three and Four are not to apply. This Is consistent with how the guidelines treat other offenses that carry both a specified term of imprisonment and a requirement that such term be Imposed consecutively. See §§ 301.1 (Procedure for Determining Offense Level on Multiple Counts) and 561.2 (Sentencing on Multiple Counts of Conviction).

The guideline includes an application note that provides an upward departure stating that a sentence above the minimum term required by section 2250(c) is an upward departure from the guideline sentence. An upward departure may be warranted, for example, in a case involving a sex offense committed against a minor or if the offense resulted In Serious bodily injury to a minor.

Sixth, section 208 of the Adam Walsh Act added a new mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years under 18 U S.0 1591(61(11for sex trafficking of an adult by force, fraud, or coercion. In response, the amendment provides a new base offense level of 34 in § 261.1 (Promoting a Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct with an Individual Other than a Minor) if the offense of conviction is 18 li 9.r 1591.(131(11, but retains a base offense level of 14 for all other offenses. In addition, the amendment limits application of the specific offense characteristic at § 2G1.1(b)(1) that applies If the offense Involved fraud or coercion only to those offenses receiving a base offense level of 14. Offenses under 18 U S.C. 1591(bull necessarily involve fraud and coercion and, therefore, such conduct is built into the heightened base offense level of 34. This limitation thus avoids unwarranted double counting.

Seventh, section 208 of the Adam Walsh Act added a new mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years under 18 U.S.C. 1591(b)(1) for sex trafficking of children under 14 years of age and added a new mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years and increased the statutory maximum term of Imprisonment from 40 years to life under 18 U.S.C. 1591(b)(2) for sex trafficking of children who had attained the age of 14 years but had not attained the age of 18 years. Further, the Adam Walsh Act increased the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment from 5 years to 10 years and increased the statutory maximum term of imprisonment from 30 years to life under both 18 U.S.C. 2422(b), for persuading or enticing any person who has not attained the age of 18 years to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, and 18 U.S.C. 2423(a), for transporting a person who has not attained the age of 18 years in interstate or foreign commerce, with the intent that the person engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with

01285

EFTA01118789

a criminal offense.

In response, the amendment provides alternative base offense levels in § 261.3 (Promoting a Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct with a Minor; Transportation of Minors to Engage in a Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct; Travel to Engage in Commercial Sex Act or Prohibited Sexual Conduct with a Minor; Sex Trafficking of Children; Use of Interstate Facilities to Transport Information about a Minor) based on the statute of conviction and the conduct described in that conviction. For convictions under 18 U.S.C. 1591(0(11, the base offense level is 34. For convictions under 18 U.S.C. 1591(0(21 the base offense level is 30.

The amendment further provides a base offense level of 28 for convictions under 18 U.S.C. 2422(b) and 2423(a). The two-level enhancement for the use of a computer at § 2G1.3(b)(3) applied to 95 percent of offenders convicted under 18 U.S.C. 2422(b) and sentenced under § 2G1.3 in fiscal year 2006. In addition, the two-level enhancement for the offense involving a sexual act or sexual contact at § 2G1.3(b)(4) applied to 95 percent of offenders convicted under 18 U.S.C. 2423(a) and sentenced under this guideline in fiscal year 2006. With application of either enhancement, the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 120 months will be reached in the majority of convictions under 18 U.S.C. 2422(b) and 2423(a), before application of other guidelines adjustments.

Further, the amendment addresses the interaction of two specific offense characteristics with the alternative base offense levels. First, every conviction under 18 U.S C. 1591 necessarily Involves a commercial sex act. With the base offense levels being determined based on the statute of conviction, the amendment clarifies that § 2G1.3(b)(4)(B), which provides a two-level enhancement If the offense involved a commercial sex act, does not apply if the defendant is convicted under 18 U.S.0 1591. Second, the amendment precludes application of the age enhancement In § 2G1.3(b)(5) If the base offense level is determined under subsection (a)(1) of § 261.3 for a conviction under 18 U.S r 1591(bV11. The base offense level provided by subsection (a)(1) of § 261.3 takes Into account the age of the victim and, therefore, limitations on application of subsections (b)(4)(8) and (b)(5) of § 261.3 avoid unwarranted double counting.

Eighth, section 503 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new section 18 U S C 7757A, adopting new recordkeepIng obligations for the production of any book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, or digital Image that contains a visual depiction of simulated sexually explicit conduct. Section 2257A has a statutory maximum of one year imprisonment for the failure to comply with the retOrdkeeping requirements and a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of five years if the violation was to conceal a substantive offense that involves either causing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction or trafficking in material Involving the sexual exploitation of a minor. The new offense is similar to 18 U.S C 7757 which is referenced to § 262.5 (Recordkeeping Offenses Involving the Production of Sexually Explicit Materials; Failure to Provide Required Marks in Commercial Electronic Mail). Accordingly, the amendment refers the new offense to § 262.5.

Ninth, section 701 of the Adam Walsh Act created a new offense in J8 U.S.C. 7252A(g1 that prohibits engaging In child exploitation enterprises, defined as violating 18 U .1.511.,12(11. (if the victim Is a minor), chapter 109A (involving a minor victim), chapter 110 (except for 18 u.S.0 2257 and 2ZSZA), or chapter 117 (involving a minor victim), as part of a series of felony violations constituting three or more separate incidents and involving more than one victim, and committing those offenses in concert with three or more other people. The statute provides a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 20 years.

The amendment creates a new guideline at § 262.6 (Child Exploitation Enterprises) to cover this new offense. The guideline provides a base offense level of 35 and four specific

01286

EFTA01118790

offense characteristics. The Commission anticipates these offenses typically will involve conduct encompassing at least one of the specific offense characteristics, resulting in an offense level of at least level 37. Thus, the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 240 months typically is expected to be reached or exceeded, before application of other guideline adjustments.

Tenth, section 206 of the Adam Walsh Act Increased the statutory maximum term of Imprisonment from 4 years to 10 years under .18 II S.C. 22928(6l for knowingly using a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material harmful to minors on the Internet. In addition, section 703 of the Act created a new section, a U S.C. 2752C that carries a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years for knowingly embedding words or digital Images Into the source code of a Web site with the intent to deceive a person into viewing material constituting obscenity. Section 2252C(b) Carries a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years for knowingly embedding words or digital images into the source code of a Web site with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material harmful to minors on the Internet.

In response to the new offense, the amendment expands the scope of subsection (b)(2) of § 2G3.1 (Importing, Mailing, or Transporting Obscene Matter; Transferring Obscene Matter to a Minor; Misleading Domain Names) by adding to this enhancement "embedded words or digital images into the source code on a Web site."

Eleventh, section 141 of the Adam Walsh Act added a new provision in 18 U.S.0 1001 that carries a statutory maximum term of Imprisonment of 8 years for falsifying or covering up by any scheme or making materially false or fraudulent statements or making or using any false writings or documents that relate to offenses under chapters 109A, 1098, 110, and 117, and under section 1591 of chapter 77. The amendment adds a new specific offense characteristic at subsection (b)(1)(A) of § 211.2 (Obstruction of Justice) enhancing the offense level by four levels if the defendant was convicted under 18 U S.C. 1.0.41. and the statutory maximum term of 8.years' Imprisonment applies because the matter relates to sex offenses.

Just stopping by to sa Hi ho ou had a pleasant trip back North. I'll keep you posted as issues develop so d a long talk with my agent about you and your projeciihis weekend. He seemed very intereste . I have been reading a lot lately about trafficking of children. The more I read the more I believe JE has been doing this for some time. Bringing dozens of girls on false immigration documents from Eastern Europe, and Brazil to the US through the modeling agency. Where are all these girls now? Did they sell them? Someone in the news show 60 minutes caught on to this scheme 10 years ago and no one stepped in to stop it ""Karin Models founder Brunel, who's currently a partner in MC2, denied allegations in a 1997 ""60 Minutes" segment that he took advantage of young models who were high on drugs. Brunel also reportedly left his Trump Tower digs in 1999 after complaints of night carousing, which he also denied. Disgraced former Elite models exec Gerald Marie is also involved with MC2, says our source. Marie was accused of having sex with underage models in a 1999 BBC documentary where he was filmed saying he hoped to ucec t tat in a modeling contest in which the average age of participants was 15. lie also dated hen she was a teen. ""

Hope all is good,

Mike
